We must reject not only the stereotypes that others have of us but also those that we have of ourselves.

Not only am I literally and figuratively the dark horse, I'm actually the poor horse. The only thing that I have going for me is my soul and my commitment to the American people.

The beginning of thought is in disagreement - not only with others but also with ourselves.

George Wallace for some strange, unknown reason, he liked me. George Wallace came down to Florida, and he went all over Florida, and he said to the people, 'If you all can't vote for me, don't vote for those oval-headed lizards. Vote for Shirley Chisholm!' And that crashed my votes, because they thought that I was in league with him to get votes.

Cruelty towards others is always also cruelty towards ourselves.

You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.
